Author's Note: Just some small fics set after Familiar Stranger showing the small family coming together.

These are in no particular order other than how I write them in.


Rip gently kissed his sleeping son's forehead who hadn't even managed to stay awake for his story after their day at the water-park. Heading back into the living room he smiled to see Gideon curled up on the couch already in her pyjamas, scanning her tablet with a thoughtful look.

"Is he asleep?" Gideon asked when Rip sat at her side.

"Out for the count. I barely managed to get his teeth brushed," Rip chuckled, tilting his head thoughtfully, "What are you doing?"

"Looking at apartments," she shrugged.

Rip frowned confused, "Why?"

"My lease is up soon," Gideon explained, as she continued to swipe through listings, "And, as Tina set it up for me, I thought I would just have a little look to see if I can find something different before I sign a new one."

Watching her for a few moments he finally asked, "What about here?"

"Unfortunately, there are no apartments free in this building," Gideon shrugged with a laugh.

"No," Rip took the tablet from her hands and putting it on the table, "I mean here. With me and Jonas."

Gideon's eyes widened in surprise, "Michael, I…"

"I know in a way it's quick but," he took her hand, "It's not. You spend most of your time here anyway, Jonas hates when you're not here and so do I. It's been at least a week since you were at your apartment."

"Nine days," she breathed.

Rip slid closer to her, "Move in with us."

A shy smile slid across Gideon's face and she nodded throwing her arms around him, "I love you."

Settling back with her in his arms Rip kissed her temple, "I love you too."
